    Dabbing is definitely something to go slow with if you aren't a seasoned smoker accustomed to smoking more than a couple grams per day for your pain tolerance or whatever effects you are looking for.

    For a person's first dab, I'd recommend a size a little under the size of a grain of rice. Work your way up from there!

    All-in-all, taking dabs is most certainly a different experience and have their place. They are like the liquor of the botanical world, with smoking being the beer, and vaping comparing to wine-tasting.

    BTW, that top stuff looks like rosin. Notice all the particulates in it...

    P.S. Trichomes are the little mushroom-shaped goodies you were referring to. Not being a grammar nazi, just wanted to help inform of the correct lingo. I think everyone knew what you meant, anyway. :)

    No no, you are exactly right. Getting some of my grow buddies that have mentored me on here to help nazi it away so terms are correct! Appreciate the feedback.

    It is rosin BTW.

    Just ordered a pneumatic press at 12,000 PSI finally:

    Will be here from China in less than two weeks. Posts going up about that, no doubt.

    Exactly on dabs. They are amazing.

    Great Post!

    I live in Colorado and we're seeing the same trend here, moving toward oils/extracts. Main motivator is the contaminant level of the cannabis causing smoking to be harsh.

    Cannabis Smoke is Not Hot or Harsh


    A sign of high quality cannabis is how smooth the smoke is. When the smoke is so soft and cool and tasty and aromatic it feels like tasty/aromatic air, you know you're smoking quality.

    When the last hit in the bowl barely has a 'burnt material' flavor to it and is almost as sweet and tasty as the first hit, that's some quality cannabis. :)

    Not So Tasty or Cool or Soft?


    Extract It! :D
    Press it! Sift It! Ethanal Wash It! Get that oil off the flowers. :D

    Check out the principles in the book I just published. Here's a link to the preview I posted for free here on Steemit. :) "Secrets to Growing Trichome Dense Cannabis"

    I prefer clean cannabis over dabs. Main reason? Maximum terpene retention.

    You really have to experience clean cannabis to understand how significantly different it is from what most people have access to. I've looked for this kind of quality for a few years and have yet to find it again. Coming soon to a grower near you though! :D Loving what's coming, for everyone involved!

    So we add terpene profiles to various extracts. Again, getting my buddies on here that can speak to it way better than me. I hear ya on the clean buds. Advantages of growing your own shit!

    Where do you get the terpenes from though?

    I like them to be naturally occurring on the plant, it's why I took the time to write a book on the subject. Punch you in the nose aroma, when you open a jar. Bite the smoke flavor, because it's that friggin tasty, right down to the last hit in the bowl.

    Going to love it when a good portion of the cannabis supply is that good. :D

      same here bro! When I learned about the world of concentrates I knew that shit was going to take over vs combusting herb. I love the ganja in all forms but dabs are the way to go. #staylitfam

      You will save money if you switch, but I enjoy smoking high quality cannabis. ..Yea I dabbled ( pun unintended) in dabs indoubadly , way before vape pens , torches , e-nail.... I used a hookah coal with a bell attached to the bong to suck the droped hash oil ... I still believe that you get way fatter rips off of a coal than any other method. However your tolerance escalates very quickly and you sort of become "boring". That is why I enjoy flower over oil these days., however it has to be top quality nugs. Today for some reason I felt like some "old school hash"
      It looks like dog shit, but its bomb.
